Understanding PTSD

Posted on Jul 20, 2017 3:45pm PDT

In the
aftermath of a traumatic experience, it’s normal to become overwhelmed with difficult emotions. For
some people, an accident, natural disaster, or crime site near Orlando
can haunt them for months or years. These individuals may exhibit hyperactive
startle reflexes, and they may have atypical emotional responses. These
issues are characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.

You can learn more about PTSD by watching this featured video. You’ll
learn how the term was originally used solely to describe combat veterans,
although back then, it was known as “shell shock.” If you’re
having trouble recovering from the aftermath of a traumatic incident,
you’re not alone. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about
your challenges. Professional support can help you reclaim your quality
of life and peace of mind.
